oh spaniels spaniels what can I say - i have had 2 cockers - jeanie my first dog was a "princess" and her Mum won at Crufts and generally she was aristocracy ... but jeepers she was a nutter .... very loving but the brain of a flea - hey ho

now Welly has a working pedigree and he is very intelligent but  a very willful male that thinks I am fit for cuddling and food preparation - defers to males at all times and reckons women have been put on this earth for his amusement ( I can think of some ex husbands like that) ... however it is lovely to have a cuddly dog that edges ever closer to me on the sofa or whatever - just a shame that when you are out if he sees a squirrel, bird, rabbit, anything that moves ...... he goes deaf as a post ....

but I am sure this may be my bad training ... can't blame the dog I guess ..... and he brings lots of people a lot of pleasuresmiley: roll
